Looks OK to me. But I don't have a definitive reference to check the buglist against.

The definitive reference is:

Though even that changes regularly.

I don't expect NEWS will be 100% correct even when released. But at least this proposal makes it more correct.

Indeed.

I will update the release scripts to automatically update NEWS based on the --fixes entries in bzr log (something I've wanted to do for a while, since NEWS handling is really tedious)

Automation is a nice idea. But it actually doesn't take much effort to paste the table into a spreadsheet and then export it to text. And at least doing it by hand we can get the line wrapping right...
